Advance Your Skills, Enhance Your Potential Futuretrend Software Testing We are delighted that you have registered interest in our highly recommended software testing courses. We aim to provide you with the practical skills required to join one of the the fastest growing sectors in the I.T. industry There is an overwhelming demand in the industry for testers with practical experience ensuring software quality. We have designed our course to include in-depth practical learning solutions, which in turn will provide candidates with hands-on skills to be productive from day one. We feel that only too often training centres equip their students with nothing more than theoretical jargon, with no insight into what exactly is required from them when they get into the work place. So many candidates that turn up for our job interviews are excellent at providing definition for testing methodologies and processes, but once they get the job they are unsure of what to do next Justin Kilminik - IBM Test Assurance Manager We have taken comments like this from Justin and other Test Managers into consideration, in designing our courses to provide students with a fully hands-on approach; this is reflected in the title of our introductory course: Software Testing Essentials Putting Theory into Practise.
A new IT career in weeks! The claim we make above is no idle boast as you could be the very next candidate that will be celebrating a new job just on the back of a few weekends of training. A good number of our trainees have secured employment in world-renowned blue chip companies such as Accenture, British Telecommunications PLC, Vodafone, the BBC and Sky to name but a few and this is mainly due to our expert coaching. Our classes offer proven practical techniques for testing software in the real world. You'll learn approaches to testing that finds bugs fast, finds the worst ones first, and determines the number of test cases needed. Testimonial I enjoyed the course thoroughly and the practical skills gained were invaluable on my first day into my career as an Oracle tester - Tolu We focus on how to actually carry out testing - how to prioritize testing effort by risk, how to create the right test cases, and how to draw up an effective test plan. Our unique approach to designing test cases makes it easy to know the confidence level for each part of the system, to give reliable estimates, and to evaluate which tools can be the most useful to employ. When you attend CareerTesters training, your lead trainer will be Sam Obot, a software testing practitioner with over 16 years IT experience and over 12 years QA and test automation experience. Additionally, we call upon a bank of highly experienced and qualified associate trainers to deliver specialist subject matter. Our training consistently receives high reviews from workshop attendees. One of the reasons is that we use easy to understand examples and real-world exercises to reinforce the concepts taught in the workshops. However, all this makes no sense and will be a complete waste of time if you haven t got the appetite for the job in the first place.
So have you really got what it takes to be a tester? You will soon realise that like every other job, testing requires a certain personality type and you must ask yourself truthfully whether you really have it or not. These are the personality traits which will suit you to this industry. First of all, you have to be able to sit still for long periods of time; you need to be well organized and willing to systematically work through a project from the beginning to end. If you're easily bored or find yourself jumping from one task to another, testing will prove to be frustrating and confusing. Testimonial "This has turned out to be the best career decision I ever made. I was taught everything I needed to know as a tester... it feels like I have been testing for years!" Andrew (Norbury) Secondly, you've got to be just a little bit intuitive and a whole lot more inquisitive. Highly effective Testers can identify problems within a program that others simply could not have even considered. In the world of testing, you've got to trust your gut and in most cases, you'll find that instinctively, you knew just how a program would respond. Many other testers tend to dismiss the intuition bit and insist that experience makes all the difference, but quite honestly, some people are just born for this job. Thirdly, you've got to be able to focus on the little windows inside the big picture and most importantly, you actually have to have a secret desire to break things. The best testers were always taking things apart when they were children and trying to put them back together with a different result. Testing is chaotic, it's fast paced and you're often working under extreme deadlines. Communication skills are a must as you attempt to show everyone else what they've done wrong without getting them angry with you. So if you possess those qualities you are certainly on the right track and we would really like to help you develop further so you can achieve a rewarding career as a software tester. Finally We feel that just providing you with the training and sending you out there as sheep's amongst wolves, is not enough; which is why we also offer the following services at no extra cost to you: Job search techniques Provision of Interview questions and techniques Pre-interview support and mentoring A free retake of any of the classes
